YESTERDAY
The new film by Danny Boyle (TRANSPOTTING): Jack is a 27-year-old singer whose career just won't take off. One night, he almost gets run over by a bus and falls off his bike, while the whole world experiences a 12-second power outage at the same time. All at once, two things have changed compared to the day before: Jack is missing two teeth, and the world has forgotten who the Beatles were. When Jack notices that he's the only person who remembers "Yesterday" and "Let It Be", he questions his sanity. But then he sees an opportunity to realize his dream of an international singing career by claiming these songs as his own work. Before long, he achieves fame, but this comes at a price.
